The cry of a moorland bird echoes across Bodmin Moor as you gaze out over Colliford Lake, Cornwall's largest body of freshwater shimmering beneath vast Cornish skies. This is high moorland camping at its most atmospheric, where the light shifts constantly and the air tastes of heather and freedom.

Colliford Tavern Camp Site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to this remote corner of Cornwall, far from the coastal crowds. It's perfect for walkers tackling the moor's ancient trails, cyclists exploring the Camel Trail's quieter reaches, and anyone seeking an escape into wilder landscapes. The site sits in the heart of Bodmin Moor, where legends of Beast and Bronze Age settlements feel tangibly close.

The facilities remain traditional and straightforward, suiting those who prefer a no-frills approach to camping. Ask about campfire possibilities when you arrive – there's something particularly magical about an evening fire with only stars and moorland for company. The adjacent tavern provides welcome sustenance after days spent exploring this hauntingly beautiful landscape. The vibe is decidedly rural and wonderfully unhurried.
